Inuit People - Artists & Artisans |
|
Working with the resources available to them, Inuit and First Nations artists and artisans have fashioned some of the world's most treasured art and handicrafts. From the traditional soapstone carvings coveted by collectors to intricate leather and beadwork, the Inuit produce an amazing volume of extremely high quality work.
The only way to truly appreciate the skill and artistry of the Inuit is to see their work in its original home. You will see how it varies from one community to the next. Techniques, materials and subject matter differ from artist to artist.
